DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol treatment centers are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders may be required to go to rehab either in place of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of remaining out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This can certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while under the influence down the road. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
